Acute localized exanthematous pustulosis (ALEP) is a rare subtype of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) with identical histologic findings. It results from a T-cell related neutrophilic inflammatory response and is characterized by monomorphic sterile pustules confined to the face, neck, or chest. Two cases of similar facial pustular eruptions in association with the messenger RNA–1273 SARS-CoV-2 vaccine have been reported, both in males of lighter skin over 50 years old. To highlight this rare reaction and its clinical appearance in patients of pigment-rich skin, we report the case of a young adult female with ALEP following injection of the RNA–1273 SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.

Primary cutaneous CD4+ small/medium T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder is a rare disease characterized by a single mass on the face or upper part of the trunk. It usually presents an asymptomatic and favorable progression, and its histopathologic findings include small and medium-sized lymphoid cells. The authors report a case of primary cutaneous CD4+ small/medium T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder on the forehead. A 51-year-old man presented with a protruding mass on his forehead that the patient had noted 1 month previously. Surgical excision and a permanent biopsy were performed under local anesthesia. Based on the biopsy results, the mass was diagnosed as a primary cutaneous CD4+ small/medium T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder. There was no evidence of recurrence at a 15-month follow-up visit.
